11 days since the abduction of Yash~
A random spaceship.
"Today, we are going to liberate slaves!"
said an anthropomorphic elephant.
All the other anthropomorphic elephants screamed with determination.
"My name is Ganaraj, and I am the ruler of all Ganas (anthropomorphic elephants) of our planet, Morco. As the ruler, I declare war on Planet Gamble 2.0!"
Everyone cheered.
Ganaraj smirked.
[Ganaraj]: We will be victorious!
Ganaraj, the ruler of the Ganas from Planet Morco, is a prideful ruler.
He sometimes lacks the understanding of how serious situations can get.
He fears only his wife.
He is a 2.5 metre tall, chubby Gana.
He has four tusks and red eyes.
Also known as Chaos Reincarnate because of his timing.
He can always be found at the worst possible place during the worst possible situations.
He is extremely loyal to those he considers close.
The legendary Gana with the short curvy tail, Ganaraj.
Dump~
A hit landed on his head.
Ouch~
His wife, Ganari, hit him with a pan.
[Ganari]: Stop making a fuss out of everything. It's lunchtime. Shut your mouth and eat.
She glanced towards all the Ganas.
They got terrified and immediately stood straight.
[Ganari]: If anyone joins his chaos, they will have to deal with me. Everyone will have a silent lunch.
she said in a rough voice.
[Everyone]: Yes, Queen!
After lunch,
Ganaraj escaped from his room.
His wife was taking a nap.
He saw this as a perfect opportunity to unite his followers and give them another speech.
He walked towards the control room to keep an eye on everyone's movements.
To check their locations.
To send them a message and gather them in the meeting room.
He had already prepared his speech.
SPEECH:-
Good afternoon, my followers. I, the ruler of the Ganas from Morco, Ganaraj, declare war against the smugglers. Support me with your spirits.
Thank you~
He laughed while fantasizing about the reactions of his followers.
Their determination.
Their fierce desire for vengeance.
Just then, a small alarm rang.
Ganaraj checked it.
Another spacecraft?
He became intrigued.
It belonged to smugglers.
He recognised it instantly.
[Ganaraj]: I won't spare them!!
With an angry face, he activated all the weapon systems.
[Ganaraj]: Glory to Lord Ganesha!
He fired countless missiles and strange explosives towards the spacecraft.
A few disappeared.
The others landed perfectly.
Ganaraj activated the mic.
[Ganaraj]: Surrender yourselves, smugglers! I, the ruler of the Ganas from Morco, have declared war upon your kind!
Narration:- SOUND DOESN'T PROPAGATE IN SPACE, DEAR GANARAJ.
The next moment, a young boy jumped out of the spacecraft.
He looked human.
Well, Gretolings, Terracolings, humans, smugglers, guards, and low-level authorities all look quite similar and are hard to differentiate.
Ganaraj targeted the young boy and launched every attack he had.
All of them missed.
[Ganaraj]: Haha, I see! Space manipulation? In that case, I shall fight him myself!
Ganaraj himself jumped out of the spacecraft through the exit tube.
As soon as he appeared before the young boy, he laughed proudly.
[Ganaraj]: Consider yourself lucky to stand before me, in the presence of Gana—
The boy punched him away.
Narration:- SOUND DOESN'T PROPAGATE IN SPACE, DEAR GANARAJ.
Ganaraj flew away.
The boy signalled to his crewmates.
Victory.
His spacecraft connected itself to Ganaraj's ship, and they entered it.
Meanwhile, Ganaraj was still floating somewhere in space.
The boy and his team entered Ganaraj's spacecraft.
They walked ahead and reached the meeting room.
Soon, all the Ganas surrounded them.
They looked at them curiously.
One of them stepped forward.
He had a claw scar over one eye and a sword hanging at his waist.
Maybe a general or commander.
He introduced himself as Gaja.
The boy introduced himself as Pratik.
Pratik and his team had finally met the squad of Chaos Reincarnate.
Meanwhile, Ganaraj was still floating somewhere.
[Gaja]: Are you enemies of the smugglers as well?
[Pratik]: Yes. The spacecraft was taken by us during our escape. All the slaves have already been liberated. They were teleported to the Gretoling Empire by the Prince, though the exact location is unknown.
[Gaja]: I see. In that case, we shall speak with our ruler.
[Gaja]: Yes. The one blessed with divine intellect and leadership. The one who values loyalty above all else. Our ruler, Ganaraj.
Pratik made a curious face.
[Pratik]: I want to meet him. Where is he?
[Gaja]: Unfortunately, he is missing for now.
Pratik(thinking): Wait! Does that mean the one I punched away was their ruler?!
Pratik started sweating bullets.
Grimori noticed this and immediately deduced everything.
[Grimori]: I think we should search for him in space.
Meanwhile, Ganaraj was still floating somewhere.
After a thorough search, they found Ganaraj floating just behind their ship.
Ganaraj patted Pratik's shoulder and laughed with him.
Pratik laughed awkwardly, knowing he had punched a ruler away into space.
Mala and the others could only stare at this with blank expressions.
[Ganaraj]: Putting everything aside, the air outside was quite tight.
[Pratik]: But sir, there's no air in space.
The glass cup dropped from Ganaraj's hand.
Everyone looked at Pratik with widened eyes.
Pratik himself looked even more embarrassed.
[Ganaraj]: This means... we can survive without breathing?! Does that mean... we are immortals!!
All the Ganas immediately started praising Ganaraj's intelligence.
Pratik(thinking): They learned this just now? And how does that even connect to immortality?!
[Pratik]: Calm down, old man. Let's discuss strategy.
[Ganaraj]: I am not old. I am only 315 years old.
[Pratik]: I apologise. You are not old. You are ancient.
Everyone fell silent.
Ganaraj slowly approached Pratik.
Pratik started getting nervous again.
[Ganaraj]: Haha! Our friend discovered that we are immortals! Haha, he is smart!
Everyone started cheering again.
[Ganaraj]: Seems like he is as smart as I am! Haha!
Pratik(thinking): What the hell?!
Pratik glanced at his team.
They all looked away, leaving him alone to deal with Ganaraj and his antics.
To be continued...

EXTRAS:-
CROCUS IN TERRACOLING EMPIRE
Crocus entered the Terracoling Empire within a week.
While hiding in disguise, he gathered information about their royal bloodline.
He befriended the substitute ruler and arranged a spacecraft for himself.
His plan is to visit Haidoro, observe him, beat him up if he acts too cocky, and then arrive on Earth to spend the next decade training.
He believes Pratik and his team are already on Earth.
